Abstract: Disclosed is a method of driving a piezo-electric type ink jet head for jetting inks out of a nozzle by making use of a distortion of a piezo-electric element. The driving method includes a first step of driving the piezo-electric element so that a meniscus of inks is receded from an initial position of the nozzle to a first position within the nozzle, a second step of driving the piezo-electric element so that the meniscus quickly advances from the first position to a second position within the nozzle, and a third step of driving the piezo-electric element so that the meniscus slowly advances from the second position to the initial position. A particle quantity of ink particles is changed by changing a movement quantity from the fist position to the second position in the second step.

Abstract: New method (I) of preparing a sophorolipid composition comprises placing Candida bombicola or Candida apicola in a culture medium comprising a source of nitrogen and a substrate and carrying out a first fermentation step to develop a stock of bacteria, followed by a production step where a fermentation must containing sophorolipids is produced by feeding the bacteria with the substrate. In the method, the following steps are also carried out at least once: (a) part of the must is removed; (b) a mineral medium containing nitrogen is added to the remaining must; and (c) a new fermentation cycle is carried out with the second medium to produce a second must. The length of each fermentation cycle is preferably ≥ 70 hours and sophorolipids are recovered from the must produced in steps (a) and (c).

Abstract: Une représentation d'image utilisant un objet structuré peut être facilement manipulée par un ordinateur. Cette représentation d'image peut représenter des images plus complexes dans lesquelles l'objet structuré définit une limite pour laquelle des valeurs d'image proche de la limite, dans une région, sont définies par une fonction dite fonction de caractéristiques de bords. La fonction de caractéristiques de bords est appliquée par détermination, pour chaque point se trouvant dans la région, d'un point sur la limite dont le point donné est le plus proche, appelé ancre, et d'une distance à ce point. On peut affecter différentes fonctions de caractéristiques de bords à différents points situés le long de la limite. Dans un mode de réalisation, les fonctions de caractéristiques de bords sont affectées aux points caractéristiques sélectionnés situés sur la limite. Ces fonctions de caractéristiques de bords peuvent être interpolées afin de produire des fonctions de caractéristiques de bords pour les points restants se trouvant le long de la limite. Chaque point ne se trouvant pas sur la limite est traité selon la fonction de charactéristiques de bords du point situé sur la limite dont il est le plus proche et selon la distance à ce point. Une fonction de caractéristiques de bords peut également être une fonction d'autres facteurs. Cette représentation d'image offre de nombreux avantages y compris la capacité de générer plus d'images complexes que l'on peut ensuite manipuler plus facilement ou convertir à partir de différents formats d'images. Une forme de manipulation est l'interpolation temporelle. Dans la composition d'images, cette représentation d'images permet également une atténuation simple de divers effets sur différentes régions de manière régulée.

Abstract: In ein Druckwerk, das zur Ausgabe von Wertzeichen (wie Frankaturen) bestimmt ist, wird zur Verhinderung von missbräuchlichen, d.h. nicht verrechneten Wertzeichen durch Manipulationen an der Stromzufuhr oder Handbetrieb eine Kontrollvorrichtung eingebaut. Diese Kontrollvorrichtung zählt dank eigener Stromversorgung jeden einzelnen Druckvorgang. Der Zählerstand der Kontrollvorrichtung kann mit dem Zählerstand des üblicherweise vorhandenen Zählers des Druckwerks verglichen werden. Bei Nichtübereinstimmung der beiden Zählerstände wird über die Steuerelektronik des Druckwerks, z.B. in Form einer Sicherheitskarte, das Druckwerk blockiert oder ein Alarm signalisiert. Ein grosser Vorteil dieser Ausbildung der Kontrollvorrichtung liegt zudem in der lückenlosen Speicherung der Druckvorgänge und aller Manipulierungen oder Manipulierversuche an der Kontrollvorrichtung selbst.

Abstract: Circuit de prothèse auditive mettant en application un détecteur de moyennes (60) et une pluralité de constantes de temps (629 afin de produire un signal de commande de compression (64) servant à commander le gain d'un amplificateur de compression (16) qui comprime un signal d'entrée quand le signal de détecteur de moyennes dépasse un seuil prédéterminé. Ce signal de commande compression possède un temps d'attaque et un temps de relâchement. Ce dernier est proportionnel à la durée pendant laquelle l'amplitude du signal de moyennes dépasse le niveau de seuil prédéterminé. Le relâchement présente une vitesse de récupération variable. La vitesse de récupération est relativement rapide pendant une partie initiale du temps de relâchement et relativement plus lente pendant la partie restante du temps de relâchement. Ce circuit peut également utiliser une commande de volume (18) afin de régler le gain du signal produit par l'amplificateur de compression (16) sans régler le gain du signal produit par un amplificateur linéaire (14), de manière à commander le volume de sons doux indépendants des sons forts.

Abstract: Crude butyl acrylate streams, e.g., from the reaction of butanol and acrylic acid, are refined using a splitter distillation column to yield a butyl acrylate- and heavies-containing bottoms fraction and an overhead fraction containing dibutyl ether, butyl acetate, butanol and butyl acrylate. The bottoms fraction is then subjected to separation, e.g., by distillation, to separate heavies from the bottoms fractions and to recover butyl acrylate. A process for the production of butyl acrylate is also disclosed, which process comprises not only the above-mentioned refining steps but also includes the steps of withdrawing from the splitter distillation column the overhead fraction and distilling the overhead fraction to recover a bottoms stream containing butanol and butyl acrylate, at least a portion of which could be recycled for reaction with acrylic acid to make butyl acrylate, and recovering the separated heavies, at least a portion of which could be recycled to a reaction zone for the production of butyl acrylate. At least 10,000 lb(avoir) quantities of a butyl acrylate product comprising at least 99.8 wt.% butyl acrylate and containing not more than about 200 ppm butyl ether and not more than about 200 ppm butyl acetate are producible.

Autour de la surface extérieure de l'élément exothermique (13) sont enroulées de multiples fibres creuses (14) présentant chacune un diamètre très faible et une paroi périphérique à ouvertures minuscules, d'une taille suffisante pour permettre à la vapeur d'eau de filtrer à travers celles-ci et suffisamment petites pour empêcher l'eau de s'infiltrer, les fibres creuses (14) et l'élément exothermique (13) étant insérés de manière serrée dans un tube (15) à revêtement maillé.
